14 <br /> 1 Commissioner McKee said he would like to keep the Orange County Schools informed <br /> 2 as they move forward with the public meeting since they have expressed an interest in the <br /> 3 sharing this meeting space. <br /> 4 Frank Clifton said there were elements of the original proposed plan for the cultural <br /> 5 center that did not work and were not financially feasible. He said that it would work as a facility <br /> 6 for special events, but would not work for a revenue generating space. He said that the cultural <br /> 7 center has said that they would appreciate what is available in the current plans. <br /> 8 Margaret Hauth said the operational agreement will be the key element for everyone and <br /> 9 this will need to be a fluid process. She said that, considering the goal of growing a base, there <br /> 10 will need to be a clear understanding up front, of what threshold will be set for the cultural center <br /> 11 finding a new home. She suggested for the public meeting, instead of full board participation, <br /> 12 they just have quorums of the boards or a sub-committee. <br /> 13 Chair Jacobs suggested for the staffs to propose some dates for this public meeting and <br /> 14 to remember that no one had made any decisions at all at this point. He said there will be a <br /> 15 public meeting of all parties and the School Board should be kept in the loop as well. He <br /> 16 encouraged cultural board members present that if there are updated plans for the cultural <br /> 17 center, it would be good to present those to the county and the town at the upcoming meeting. <br /> 18 <br /> 19 <br /> 20 8.
